What exactly is a senior picture? And do you have to take them yourselves, or does the school do that?

most the people on here are right.

except the ones saying you take them at school.

i mean, they do this little thing at school for the people who forgot to do their senior pics or who i guess really don't have money. but at my school only like 3 people did that cuz i mean usually you don't look your best at school. and you wanna look really good for you senior picture.

plus if they do it at school they're gonna take one picture like a normal school picture and if you don't like it, too bad. at the places they'll take a bunch and you can keep taking them till you get one you like.

so i wouldn't take it at school.

and you don't just go to any photographer either, your school usually has a photography place (mine was bellz) chosen so that the photographer can just send the school your photo.

and no it's not mandatory but mostly everyone will have one since its for the year book.

and people also do the senior pictures with their cap and gown and all that good stuff. that is definitely not mandatory but a good thing to have so you can remember your senior year :)

A senior picture is a picture you take typically the summer before your senior year of high school. What most people do is find a photographer in their area and book a photo session. I however had cheap parents and we just went to Targets Photography studio, and I was fine with that. Most people get a bunch of wallet sizes of their favorite ones and hand them out to their friends etc. Also, you (at some schools) choose one and it is put in the yearbook. Hope this helped

You will take a senior picture at school, for the yearbook.

Some people do, like, 'senior picture photoshoots,' which usually look cheesy and too posed, unless done by someone who knows you well rather than a photography company.

They use them to send out to people, or just to put on Facebook or whatever.

You don't really need those extra, expensive, professional cheesy ones.

The yearbook one would probably be nice to have, though.

I don't know. We have a nice city park where many seniors go as juniors to have their pictures done. Oh my goodness they make a day of it changing outfits and such. My son told me he never needed any pictures for college apps. As for our golden age seniors, my daughter worked in a photo studio and once an entire family came in for picture taking. They told my daughter they needed pictures for the grandmas funeral.

They go in the yearbook as your picture rather than your school picture. You have to pay for them yourselves, usually people go to a professional studio to get them taken. I had a friend of mine who is big into photography take mine and that saved me about 400 bucks.

senior pictures are for you to have and give to people and then you pick one of them to go in the yearbook for your school picture.

you can take them yourself if you want, or the school does it.

you can have anyone take them and then just give them to the yearbook staff.

Usually there is a day for senior pictures and you schedule a photo session and get them taken and then they give you the ones you pick out.
